A drug addict named "Freak" was chased down by Spider-Man after he attempted to steal from the poor at the soup kitchen Spider-Man's Aunt May works at. He stumbles into a off site laboratory owned by Oscorp and injected himself with animal gene fluids, thinking they were crystal meth.
Freak then began to form a chrysalis around his body, emerging as a skinless monster. After being shot at by the police, he fell into the sewer and forms another chrysalis. Emerging as an animal hybrid, and completely bulletproof, Freak then became a super villain.
Norman Osborn later trapped Freak using crystal meth and recruited him into the Sinister Six.
